If you are going first, I think this will work:
You take 9. So your friend has to take 6 (since otherwise you can get 15 next turn). Then take 8, your friend takes 7. Then take 2. You can then get 15 on your next turn by taking either 4 or 5, so your friend can't stop you from doing it.

"The Germans believe that power must reveal itself in hardness and cruelty and then submit themselves gladly and with admiration[...]. They do not believe readily that there is power in meekness and calm."
